K&N 04 Acura TL Silver Typhoon Short Ram Intake

If you've got a 2004-2008 Acura TL and you're looking to get more out of your engine, this K&N Typhoon Short Ram Intake system is a solid option. It swaps out your car's factory air filter and housing for a less restrictive setup. The main idea here is to let your engine breathe easier by smoothing out the airflow path. This means your engine can take in more air, which generally translates to better power and quicker acceleration across the RPM range.

The system uses mandrel-bent aluminum tubing, which is known for keeping airflow smooth. This particular kit comes with a high-flow K&N air filter that's designed to grab cooler air from the front fender area. That cooler, denser air then travels through the intake tube and into your engine's throttle body. The filter itself is cone-shaped and comes with a DryCharger wrap to help keep moisture out. K&N states the filter can go up to 100,000 miles before needing service, depending on your driving conditions. The tubing has a silver powder coat finish, giving it a clean look under the hood.

Installation is usually pretty straightforward, often taking about 90 minutes or less. It's worth noting that some K&N intake systems aren't legal for sale or use in California and other states that follow California's emissions standards. You'll want to check the K&N catalog or their website to confirm the specific CARB status for your vehicle and this intake system.
